New Survey Demonstrates the Economic and Social Impact of Oregon’s Banks
Oregon’s Banks Fuel Job Creation and Healthy Communities
SALEM, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A recent survey conducted by the Oregon Bankers Association (OBA)
reveals the profound economic and social impact of Oregon’s banks. From
small business lending to nonprofit donations and employee volunteerism,
Oregon banks fuel job creation and the growth of healthy communities. In
conjunction with the survey, the OBA has released the publication Oregon’s
Banks: Cornerstones of our Communities and an accompanying infographic.
Oregon banks reported making more than $21.5 million in contributions to
nonprofits and community organizations annually. Employees of Oregon
banks also gave back to their communities on a personal level, with over
122,500 volunteer hours donated. Those volunteer hours translate into an
additional $3 million invested in public and social service
organizations.
The survey data also demonstrates the important role banks play as
drivers of Oregon’s economy, particularly in financing small businesses.
In total, banks lent $3.3 billion to small businesses in Oregon and made
over $500 million in agriculture-related loans. Small businesses rely on
these loans and other services from banks to support their operations
and fuel their growth. This is especially critical in Oregon given that
small businesses employ over half of the state’s private workforce.
In addition to extending $26.7 billion in total credit in Oregon and
safeguarding $77.7 billion in deposits in the state, banks serve
Oregon’s rural and urban communities with nearly 1,000 branch locations.
Oregon banks are a major employer in Oregon, providing more than 20,000
family wage jobs.
Said OBA President and CEO Linda Navarro, “Whether serving as a leading
source of credit for Oregon consumers, businesses and farms, or sharing
their expertise and time to make the places they live and work the best
they can be, Oregon banks truly are cornerstones of our communities.”
